Summary on Grant Application Form
Modern astronomical telescopes are increasingly automated, and communicate via the internet. There are now a small number of networks of such telescopes, and our objective is to be able to unify them into a single, global network that can be accessed either directly by astronomers, or by software agents working for them. To achieve this we need to agree the languages these telescopes speak and the protocols they adhere to. We are therefore proposing an international workshop and follow-up bilateral visits to create such a network.
